Responsive search ads offer true query-time optimization by assembling the assets into ads that are predicted to perform best for each individual user’s search.
Create one responsive search ad per ad group
Every ad group should have at least one responsive search ad. That way, the system can optimize your performance, and you can check your performance data to learn what message resonates best with your audience.
For successful account organization, be sure to create very specific ad groups. For example, if you sell gourmet food, create different ad groups for different foods you offer. A cookie-loving customer is more likely to click an ad about cookies than a generic ad about food. Specificity and detail help your ads be more relevant. Relevance tends to lead to higher quality ads that perform better in the ad auction and generate more conversions.
